Regine Claire M. MedinaIV-JosephCode of Good Citizenship and
Ethics 1. Have faith in Divine Providence that guides the destinies
of men and nations.2. Love your country for it is the home of your
people, the seat of your affections, and the source of your
happiness and well-being. Its defense is your primary duty. Be
ready at all times to sacrifice and die for it if necessary.3.
Respect the Constitution which is the expression of your sovereign
will. The government is your government. It has been established
for your safety and welfare. Obey the laws and see that they are
observed by all and that public officials comply with their
duties.4. Pay your taxes willingly and promptly. Citizenship
implies not only rights but also obligations.5. Safeguard the
purity of suffrage and abide by the decisions of the majority.6.
Love and respect your parents. It is your duty to serve them
gratefully and well.7. Value your honor as you value your life.
Poverty with honor is preferable to wealth with dishonor.8. Be
truthful and be honest in thought and in action. Be just and
charitable, courteous but dignified in your dealings with your
fellow men.9. Lead a clean and frugal life. Do not indulge in
frivolity or pretense. Be simple in your dress and modest in your
behavior.10. Live up to the noble traditions of our people.
Venerate the memory of our heroes. Their lives point the way to
duty and honor.11. Be industrious. Be not afraid or ashamed to do
manual labor. Productive toil is conducive to economic security and
adds to the wealth of the nation.12. Rely on your own efforts for
your progress and happiness. Be not easily discouraged. Persevere
in the pursuit of your legitimate ambitions.13. Do your work
cheerfully, thoroughly, and well. Work badly done is worse than
work undone. Do not leave for tomorrow what you can do today.14.
Contribute to the welfare of your community and promote social
justice. You do not live for yourselves and your families alone.
You are a part of society to which you owe definite
responsibilities.15. Cultivate the habit of using goods made in the
Philippines. Patronize the products and trades of your
countrymen.16. Use and develop our natural resources and
conservation for posterity. They are the inalienable heritage of
our people. Do not traffic with your citizenship.
